Althea Korea, The K-Beauty Mecca

I am sure I don't need to walk you all through the mechanics of shopping online because most sites are the same: you sign up for an account, you add things to your cart and you check out. As simple as that.

So why am I doing this today? Because this new kid on the block, Althea Korea, is the whole package!

① Free shipping
Now how rare is this: free international shipping! Yes, for purchases over RM 150 but that is easy enough to reach right?

② Authenticity guarantee
As a promise that their merchandises are only sourced from reputable suppliers, Althea Korea will refund 200% of the purchase price if you do receive a knockoff.

③ Price-match
Should you purchase an item at a better price than what is offered on Althea Korea, please email them at help@althea.kr and their team will do their best to match it for you.

④ Return policy
Althea Korea allows its customers to return merchandise for any reason up to 30 days after the arrival date and receive a credit to their accounts.

Not too shabby right? And to make their Grand Opening bigger and better, they are offering 대박 (jackpot) deals: Nature Republic Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Gel for RM 1, Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask at RM 0 (not a typing error), and also a 1+1 Laneige Water Sleeping Mask promotion!

I was given RM 150 to fund my shopping experience but I immediately topped up with my own money when I saw the listing for IOPE's Bio Essence Intensive Conditioning. This baby has a RSP of ￦ 60,000 (≈ RM 201) and it only costs RM 161 on the site! The other products are going for unbelievable prices too - the whole place is practically temptation incarnate.

My order took 3 business days to arrive from the shipping date, and even the local mail carrier, Skynet, added to my joy by delivering it to my doorstep in a timely manner. The box arrived without a single dent (which is a testament to its sturdy build) and within it were my products burrowed in wrapping tissue and thick bubble wrap.
